ABOUT FREET

We make 2 styles of shoes, 4+1 ‘split-toe’ and 5in1 ‘toes together’. Our 4+1 split toe shoes have a separate pocket for the big toe which gives a little more ‘glove-like’ feel, whilst our 5in1 shoes have all toes together, like traditional shoes. Both styles will achieve the same ‘barefoot-like’ result and tend to be worn interchangeably. Largely it’s a matter of personal preference!

Sometimes we might want or need to move on a harder suface or for a longer time/distance and for this we use a thin layer of advanced shock absorbing material such as PORON or ORTHOLITE. This does not affect the ‘barefoot-like’ nature of the shoe, but can prevent the foot soreness which you can get with such harder use.

We are a small but fast growing niche footwear business based in North Yorkshire, UK. We made our first shoes in 2011.

FOOT-SHAPE FOREFOOT
The Freet shape mirrors the shape of our feet allowing the toes to spread and flex naturally.

CONNECTIVITY
Whilst providing essential protection, the Freet Sensor Outsole enables feet to come alive as they receive and respond to stimulus from the ground.

FLEXIBLE UPPERS
Our soft and flexible uppers are designed to fit like a glove enabling the foot and shoe to work as one. This liberates all the muscles, ligaments, tendons and bones to move and function freely.

BACKGROUND

Our shoes have ‘less shoe’ in them. Deliberately. We combine the best materials, components and design though, to make your experience the best balance we can between natural movement and fitness for the job you’re on – whether hurtling along a hill trail or practising yoga. Different shoes for different purposes but always ‘less shoe’ …

People have been around for many thousands of years but most people have only been wearing shoes for hundreds of years. If you look around at small children, who often take their shoes off at every opportunity, you will realise that it is unnatural for our feet to be overly cushioned from the world.

We complain of knee injuries and problems with our feet but we are effectively strangling the astonishing network of muscles, ligaments and nerves which were designed to respond to our movement requirements. We spend most of our lives in shoes with our feet unable to flex and move naturally.
